My Decision:The NBA will release its opening week and Christmas Day schedules during an hourlong TV special [to be broadcast live] Tuesday [August 3rd]. NBATV officials said the network will host the program at 7 p.m. EDT, at which time it will unveil the slate of games [selected] for "Tip-off 10" plus the Christmas and Martin Luther King Jr. holidays. The full NBA schedule will be released on Aug. 10. This is the first time the league has pre-released portions of its [schedule]. The reason is likely because of the anticipation for the debut and marquee games involving Miami's new trio of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.
